Probiotics

 

So I have had probiotic drinks on and off, however, I have avoided them since cutting down on dairy.  Recently I had a yeast infection and decided to drink some probiotics in the hopes of helping clear it up quicker.   I then started to look into other benefits of probiotics and I was surprised that it helps endometriosis.  I thought since it was a dairy based product then it would be inflammatory like other dairy products.  Based on my research it is actually the opposite, it helps reduce inflammation.  I haven't been taking it long enough to notice if there is a difference but I am curious to see if I find any benefits from it.  If you don't consume dairy another food that contains probiotic is sauerkraut.  I personally really don't like the taste of sauerkraut so I'm going to stick with the drinks.  Hopefully by adding this to my diet and the other things I'm doing may (fingers crossed) help me beat endometriosis and help with my fertility.  So far it's 9 months since my diagnosis and I'm not sure where I go from here.  At the moment I can't do IVF as money is tight so I have just keep doing the best I can and hope I can do this naturally.  We shall see.
